From the Head of Junior School

Thank you to all the Year 2 parents who attended our Year 2 assembly this week.

We are looking forward to mums, grandmothers, aunts and others on the dance floor with our Junior School girls this evening at the disco. Thank you to our committed parent volunteers for making this much-loved evening possible.  

Mother’s Day Stall and Raffle 

Our parent volunteers deserve a massive thank you from the entire Junior School for hosting our Mother’s (and others) Day Stall this week. If your daughter is trying to sneak something home from School, it is likely a surprise from our wonderful stall. All proceeds go towards our very supportive Junior School P&F.
